Editing Text Documents 100
jumps to the end of the current paragraph.
gotoNextParagraph (Expand)
jumps to the start of the next paragraph.
gotoPreviousParagraph (Expand)
jumps to the start of the previous paragraph.
isStartOfParagraph ()
returns True if the TextCursor is at the start of a paragraph.
isEndOfParagraph ()
returns True if the TextCursor is at the end of a paragraph.
The text is divided into sentences on the basis of sentence symbols. Periods are, for
example, interpreted as symbols indicating the end of sentences.
The Expand parameter is a Boolean value which specifies whether the area passed over
during navigation is to be highlighted. All navigation methods furthermore return a
parameter which specifies whether the navigation was successful or whether the action was
terminated for lack of text.
The following is a list of several methods for editing highlighted areas using a TextCursor
and which also support the
service:
com.sun.star.text.TextCursor
collapseToStart ()
resets the highlighting and positions the TextCursor at the start of the previously
highlighted area.
collapseToEnd ()
resets the highlighting and positions the TextCursor at the end of the previously
highlighted area.
isCollapsed ()
returns True if the TextCursor does not cover any highlighting at present.
Formatting Text with TextCursor
The
com.sun.star.text.TextCursor
service supports all the character and paragraph properties that were presented at the
start of this chapter.
The following example shows how these can be used in conjunction with a TextCursor. It
passes through a complete document and formats the first word of every sentence in bold
type.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Cursor As Object
Dim Proceed As Boolean
